Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer programs encoded on computer storage medium, for detecting, across a resistive sense circuit proximate to a venting system of an IHS, a first voltage at a first time, wherein the first voltage includes a state-steady voltage and a nominal voltage; comparing the first voltage to a voltage threshold, and determining that the first voltage is less than or equal to the voltage threshold and in response, maintaining a power state of the IHS; detecting, across the resistive sense circuit, a second voltage at a second time after the first time, wherein the second voltage includes the steady-state voltage and a low-voltage; comparing the second voltage to the voltage threshold, and determining that the second voltage is greater than the threshold voltage, and in response preparing a computer-implemented response to mitigate damage to the IHS from liquid contacting one or more computing components of the IHS.
